Tips & Notes
- Use only soba labeled gluten-free. Most soba is a blend of buckwheat and other flour; 100% buckwheat soba is the kind to look for.
- Rinse the cooked soba under cold water, rubbing the noodles gently with your hands to remove surface starch, so they don't turn gummy.
- Pure buckwheat soba breaks easily. Toss it with the dressing using tongs or your hands instead of stirring with a spoon.
